Polarized Abelian<br />

Varieties<br />

A polarization <strong>of</strong> A is an isogeny (homomorphism) from A<br />

to its dual that is induced by a divisor on A. A polarization<br />

<strong>of</strong> degree 1 is called a principal polarization.<br />

Theorem. If A is the Jacobian <strong>of</strong> a curve, then A is<br />

canonically principally polarized. For example, elliptic<br />

curves are principally polarized.
